Local interpretation

What the local hay data shows

USDA crop mapping directly identifies alfalfa around Protection. The latest 2025 raster shows 6,962 mapped acres within 25 miles, placing the market in the 48th percentile among 740 analyzed Kansas localities and the 67th percentile nationally. Comanche County reports 5,055 acres of reported alfalfa acreage in 2022, giving HayQuotes regional production context without treating that published geography as live city inventory. No compatible public price benchmark is stored for this market, so the page does not invent pricing. The sourcing graph points to nearby alternatives such as Seward, Kansas, 77 miles away with 76,709 mapped acres. The current drought signal is 100% as of 2026-09-01, which can affect how quickly buyers should confirm quality and freight.
